To say it’s been a technically challenging day wouldn’t be accurate!

I updated iTunes on my computer and IOS on my iPhone late last night. Now my iTunes won’t sync my music to my phone – in fact it has taken all audio OFF my phone so I can’t use it as an iPod! Wasn’t Apple meant to be good at all that?!

Earlier yesterday I had finally decided to upgrade to Mac from a PC Laptop. Now I’m not so sure after my experience of updating my phone and computer software.

Today my emails, actually all company emails, went down so no one is able to email me as I write this, and we can’t email anyone else.

After hours of frantic activity, it came down to something simple (as is often the case). A ‘techie’ had changed a setting on the internet that shouldn’t have been changed at the time. So, the setting is back to what it should have been, but it could take up to 48 hours for normal service to resume!

So, it could have been a challenging day where I tore out what remains of my hair. Instead it’s been irritating, but at the same time, not that big a deal. There isn’t much I can do, or could have done, personally to resolve the challenges beyond what I have already done.

What’s the difference between me today and the person I was years ago, who would have been fuming about in a state of rage, and taking it out on other people and things? My ability to SOAR above the situation.

I could STOP my mind from hijacking my day and creating a crisis out of everything.
I could OBSERVE what was really going on, as opposed to what I thought was going on The world was still turning, my business was still running and apart from the lack of email communication and audios I could listen to, nothing much had changed.
I could ACCEPT the reality of what the situation is rather than keep wishing (uselessly) that is was something else.
Finally, I could RELEASE the negative thought patterns and feelings that were in danger of hijacking my day.

Stop Observe Accept Release

I could get on with my day. The emails got resolved by the end of the working day. I got my old iPod out and started to transfer my audios to that and did the best I could.

How often is your day hijacked by your thoughts and emotions? What gets you in such a state that you can’t think straight, fell crap and wish you’d never got out of bed that day?

I’ve worked with hundreds of people in the last few years, who have seen the quality of their life, work and relationships improve dramatically once they learned to be a master of their emotions rather than the victim of life’s circumstances?

Maybe you will too someday? If you want to do it in a hurry, have a look at Emotional Mastery Retreat and I hope you join us to learn to be a Master. If you’ve read this far, let me reward the first two people to commit to mastery by bringing a friend / colleague / partner as my guest! Don’t be a slave to life’s circumstances, break free now!

REMEMBER, only the first TWO PEOPLE TO ACT NOW can benefit from this.
